Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle

(yahoo or sometimes sung: yah-hooooooooo)

A directory and Web sales site. Searches at YAHOO are/were often judged better not because they are more comprehensive but because all listed sites are human-screened so the results are more often relevant. As the Web grew, the searches became less human-screened and YAHOO now produces results similar to other search engines.
